I had a “chemical pregnancy” last June after an <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> procedure and it’s something I’m having some trouble categorizing it in my own mind and on paper...

The other day at an OBGYN I was informed that I now have to check the box that says I’ve had 1 pregnancy and 0 children... because I was going to a fertility clinic at the time I knew everyday what my levels are and what that meant for the implanted egg? (embryo?) whatever you want to call it, and I knew almost exactly when the hormones fell too low for a pregnancy to flourish, which wasn’t long.

I have always felt that actually calling it or saying that I’ve had a miscarriage, and are now hoping to have a rainbow baby, would somehow lessen the emotions and devastation of those who have definitely had a “real” miscarriage.

However the fact that this many months later it still bothers me and especially having to change the way I filled out that paperwork... really made my mixed up feelings even more so!

What would you say? Feel? Fill out paperwork at any non Gyno doctors office?

I just need some other perspectives.... please

I would have made a poll but couldn’t think how to phrase one!
